Blackburn Rovers turn down West Ham United bid for Martin Olsson?

Blackburn Rovers have reportedly rejected an offer from West Ham United for defender Martin Olsson.

The 24-year-old is believed to have attracted attention from Hammers boss Sam Allardyce after impressing for the Lancashire club in the Championship since getting relegated from the top flight last season.

It was reported that the London club had tabled a bid for the Sweden international over the weekend but it is believed that Blackburn have turned down the offer, according to Sky Sports News.

Olsson broke into the Blackburn first team in 2007 following a year with the club's youth setup.
